International Training Course in Cryopreservation Techniques
September 2, 2011| |
Bioversity International and the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR) of India are organizing a training course – "In Vitro and Cryopreservation for Conservation of Plant Genetic Resources" to be held from 14-26 November 2011 in New Delhi, India. The internationally recognized practical course aims to equip the participants to enhance the use of in vitro conservation and cryopreservation protocols for germplasm of crops relevant in their countries; understand molecular techniques for PGR management and the underlying principles of stress tolerance during processing for conservation; and improve their skills in using tissue culture techniques for conservation and management of PGR.
For registration contact Dr. Prem Mathur at p.mathur@cgiar.org and/or visit Bioversity International website http://www.bioversityinternational.org/index.php?id=2850
